Sony has announced that the Xperia Go will arrive in Canada by November. The Go features a 3.5-inch display, a 1 GHz dual-core processor, a 5MP camera, and Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (don’t hold your breath for an upgrade to Jelly Bean).

The Go is a decent low to mid range device that offers great protection and falls in that category of “rugged” devices. If you’d like to learn more you can hit up the break for Sony’s official press release regarding the device.

Today, T-Mobile and the Lookout team have announced a partnership to bring customers an alternative mobile security solution. Lookout’s Automatic App Security will come pre-loaded on select devices this year on T-Mobile and is expected on most Android devices in 2013, securing smartphones and tablets right out of the box for free.

The second you turn on your T-Mobile Android device that has this pre-installed, your device will automatically be secured upon boot. According to T-Mobile and Lookout:

Lookout will scan all applications upon download, in addition to providing weekly scans for potential threats, using its Mobile Threat Network, the world’s largest database of applications. The user will be notified if the application is determined to be safe or not. If an application is identified as potentially harmful, Lookout will provide information and instructions on how to protect against the threat or uninstall the application.

These days, plenty of people are looking for extra ways to protect their mobile phones. After all, these phones are more like computers these days than actual phones. You can always pay $2.99 extra per month for additional features such as remotely locking your device or backing up photos. Do you guys see this as something you’d love to have or do you see it as something you don’t need and will just add to bloat-ware?

Looks like Sprint has launched an Android app to allow push-to-talk on a couple of devices including the Kyocera Rise and LG’s Optimus Elite. This app virtually turns your phone into a walkie-talkie, much like that annoying “chirp” Boost used to have years ago. Personally, I’ve used an app like this before called HeyTell. I see it as a good alternative to using your minutes if you’re low. Hit the break for a QR code and download link! Read more

Motorola launched the MOTODEV Android Portal in 2009 to provide developers with the technical support and resources needed to create quality apps for Motorola devices. By the end of this month, Motorola plans to close this down and re-open it on November 1st with a re-design and different outlook:

On November 1, the MOTODEV portal, tech library, support forums and social media sites will transition and we’ll begin redirecting users to a new Developer Resources page on Motorola.com for downloads and links to the rich set of tools, support forums and technical documentation now available in the broader Android community such as: Google Android Developers and Stack Overflow.

If you’re an independent developer for Motorola devices, keep your eye out on November 1st!

It appears Samsung is planning on releasing a new Galaxy device soon that will don the EXYNOS 5250 1.7 GHz Dual Core processor. It looks like the device will be in the mid-range tier, although the specs is tinkering its way into high end status. The device will have an HD resolution (1280 x 672) screen and will launch with Android 4.1.1 Ice Cream Sandwich. With these specs, this would make it a great mid-range device for customers to purchase, perhaps a physical QWERTY phone?

The device has the model number of GT-B9150 and the “B” series usually pertains to hardware QWERTY devices for Samsung. Once we know more about this device, we’ll be sure to let you all know!

If you read our previous article on this, folks over on Android Police have gotten a hold of a one month old LG Nexus ROM. The ROM is in fact Android 4.2 and with it, they’ve been able to uncover what we should all expect once 4.2 is officially revealed. For starters it looks like the “Gallery” application is getting a complete re-design and as you can see, it follows Google’s Holo UI look and looks very similar to the Google+ application. I actually liked the old look a lot, but I can understand why Google wants to give it a uniform look to match their other apps like Google+ and YouTube. Keep in mind that this is still a work in progress and I would bet that it’ll look different than what it looks in this photo. For one, the header could certainly still use some work as it just look completely bland at the moment. Either way I personally think it’s a great move, what do you guys think about the new gallery? Also, according to Android Police, the gallery icon that you see here is just a “place holder” and will by no means be the final icon used.
